Better than the last! I love Lei's development as a character, and find myself cheering at the fact that I disagree so whole-heartedly with some characters, but I can see their reasonings and why they would act the way they do. Being able to understand and see from the POV of characters you don't like is hard to write, and Natasha Ngan has done it successfully throughout this book. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Lone Women by Victor LaValle
3.0
It was fine. It had all the trappings of a book with great metaphors and story, but a lot of it was heavy-handed and every character had the same voice.

Once again, Nora Roberts has weaved a story and created characters that pull you in from the first chapter. I can't wait to see where this story goes!

It was really good, just some of the prose was a little jumbled and hard to follow. Overall, great story!
